Why a grid
One rank can't tell you where customers find you.
Most rank trackers search from a single location and report a single position. Customers search from all over town, and Google Maps answers each of them differently.
Typical rank tracker
1 search, from 1 location
| Keyword | Position |
|---|---|
| dentist near me | #3 |
Accurate for the spot it searched from. It says nothing about the rest of the neighbourhoods you serve.

Who it's for
For businesses and the people who market them.
Local businesses
Check which parts of town can find you and which can't, then scan again after you work on your profile to see if it paid off.
SEO consultants
Report ranking across the whole service area instead of quoting one position, and show clients a before-and-after map rather than a spreadsheet.
Agencies
Save every client's listing with its keywords, rerun scans in a couple of clicks and send read-only report links under your own brand.
How it works
From listing to rank map in four steps.
- 1
Find your listing
Search by name. We pull the address and exact location from Google, so the grid centres on your real listing.
- 2
Pick a keyword
Use the phrase customers type into Google Maps, such as a service plus “near me”.
- 3
Set the area
Choose the grid size and the distance between points.
- 4
Read the map & coach
Points fill in as each search finishes. Open Scan coach for an AI action plan, drill into any point, then share the report.

How is each point's rank measured?
For every point on the grid, Local Radars runs a Google Maps search for your keyword from that point's exact coordinates and records where your listing appears, from 1 to 20. If it isn't in the first 20 results, the point shows 20+.
How is this different from a regular rank tracker?
Most trackers search from one location and report one position. Google Maps results change with the searcher's location, so a single number can't show that you're #2 near your office and missing a few miles away. A grid shows both.
What does a scan cost?
One credit per grid point. A 7×7 scan uses 49 credits and a 13×13 scan uses 169. The exact cost is shown before you run anything. Agency gets a new credit balance every 30 days (unused period credits don't roll over). You can also buy credits anytime on Free or Agency — enter a custom amount starting at $5 for 2,000 credits.
Can I buy more credits?
Yes. Buy credits as a one-time top-up on Free or Agency. Enter any amount from 2,000 credits up ($5 per 2,000). Purchased credits don't expire with your billing period and don't change your subscription.
What is Scan coach?
Scan coach is AI-powered coaching on every finished report. It summarizes what your grid shows (where you're strong, where competitors win, and where you're missing from the top 20), then gives three prioritized actions to work on next. It's included on every plan, including the free scan.
What's included for free?
One complete 7×7 scan: 49 grid points, the full rank map, Scan coach AI recommendations, and the businesses ranking at every point. No credit card required.
Can I track changes over time?
Yes. Rerun a scan with the same listing, keyword, grid size and spacing, and the results show how average rank, local pack coverage and top-20 presence changed since the previous scan.
Can I share results with clients?
Every scan has a read-only share link that works without an account. On Pro and Agency, shared reports can carry your logo, colours and company name, and Agency can remove our branding.
How long does a scan take?
Each point is its own search, so larger grids take longer. You can leave the page while it runs. The map fills in as points finish.
Which grid sizes and countries are supported?
Grids from 3×3 up to 13×13 depending on your plan, with points 0.1 to 10 miles (or 0.1 to 25 km) apart. Scans can run in 14 countries, including the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
Free first scan
See your own map before you change anything.
Your first 7×7 scan is free: 49 Google Maps searches around your business, with the competitors at every point. No credit card.
